2 Dealerships named in fraud case...




Two now-closed Schuylkill County automobile dealerships are among those mentioned in a report by the 39th Statewide Investigative Grand Jury in a presentment on what it alleged to be fraudulent activity involving license plates, titles and other documents. 

According to the Republican Herald, state Attorney General Josh Shapiro said Aflak Auto Sales Inc., Cressona, and Prestige AAA Auto Sales Inc., Orwigsburg, each failed to return numerous dealer license plates that have been improperly used on vehicles. 

The two dealerships were among 14 named as parts of a scheme, called Operation Car Wash, which cost Pennsylvania and New York more than $1 million in unpaid sales taxes, EZ Pass tolls and parking fines.

 The grand jury alleges other unlawful activities involved in the scheme included rolling back odometers and acquiring fake automobile insurance cards and driver’s licenses. 

Shapiro said he has charged 12 people in connection with the plan, which started in 2008.
